Queen of Spades

Four walls and a clenched jaw got me begging for release
Shifting your weight to your left hand side so I can grit my teeth
For mercy

And I can hear the horns playing when they lay this body down
'Cause nothing ever really dies, it always comes back around
Like the syllables when you say my name
How I get choked up on Amazing Grace
My grandma's voice and the Queen of Spades
And the way that it was when you loved me

Heard your dad went back to using when you fell down on Southside
It may not be fair but it's what you're used to
At least you can say you tried
For mercy

And I can hear the horns playing when they lay this body down
'Cause nothing ever really dies, it always comes back around
Like the syllables when you say my name
How I get choked up on Amazing Grace
My grandma's voice and the Queen of Spades
Bathroom stalls and wedding cakes
Blue ribbons and crystal balls
When I finally return my mother's calls
Like the sodas and all in all
It was the way that it was when you loved me

And I can hear the horns playing when they lay this body down
'Cause nothing ever really dies, it always comes back around
